In early May, Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp signed a bill that would make abortion illegal after a fetal heartbeat is detected.

More companies are threatening to potentially boycott the state of Georgia after Governor Brian Kemp signed a bill that would make abortion illegal at the point of a fetal heartbeat, or at eight weeks into the pregnancy.

“We have many women working on productions in Georgia, whose rights, along with millions of others, will be severely restricted by this law,” Sarandos said in a statement on Tuesday. “It’s why we will work with the ACLU and others to fight it in court. Given the legislation has not yet been implemented, we’ll continue to film there—while also supporting partners and artists who choose not to. Should it ever come into effect, we’d rethink our entire investment in Georgia.

While Netflix and Disney are the first major studios to threaten a boycott, several independent production companies have already started taking action against the state.

Just wait until the government has a complete takeover of healthcRe, these leftists organizations will be boycotting all 50 states. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

There is NO ONE in gov qualified to stick their snouts into a woman’s uterus to presume to legislate on what may, or may not, be there. Keep your religion out of my government.

They'd better.

Georgia is trash!

Yet Netflix co-founder and CEO ReedHastings contributed to the campaigns of scores of Republican state lawmakers who recently approved similarly restrictive abortion legislation in Missouri - WTF - Is it time to tuneout cancel my account!

For good reasons, when religious and extremists take away our fundamental freedom rights, we all need to act!

Lemme fix that for you: Disney, Netflix and other companies extorting Georgia for political reasons.
